You dense idiot, not an insult, an observation of your neutron star nuclear lasagna thick skull, the American public are not capable of forming a front that can defeat the most powerful and technologically advanced military in human history, let alone when significant chunks of them are liable to be fighting each other in this scenario.
If the public were able to defeat the military, the US would not be a recognized state, it would be a militarized hellzone that makes Syria look like the Nordics.
Here’s a better question, what pushover military is the US subbing in for on your government’s behalf where you think it’s that simple to just rebel against your own military?
You genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about, anymore than those Americans you like to make fun of for not knowing the exact locations of places literal oceans away.
Well maybe if you could pronounce ya dental fricatives right before you started crackin’ wise people might care what ya had to say about what those words you can’t pronounce mean.
Same things that prevent all of Europe from rising as one against the tide of fascists winning elections over there?
We have double the EU’s landmass just in the contiguous 48, it is fucking hard to organize hundreds of millions of people over that large a space to even agree that pizza is nice.
Nope, Jefferson may have wrote some pretty words to the contrary but the cabal of slave owning oligarchs did not actually write a “feel free to shoot the government if they act tyrannical” clause into their constitution.
Well yeah I meant being able to turn it on via family controls.
Just because I wouldn’t be using it personally save for an emergency doesn’t mean I wouldn’t rather my kid have it in the event of an emergency.
Of course they aren’t getting a phone period until they’re old enough that I feel comfortable they’re olden and wisen enough to let out of my sight for stuff other than school clubs and playdates.
I just text my parents if I feel like they need to know where I’m at, worked for me from middle school all the way to me living independently today.
Like a phone’s location services can be turned on remotely if an emergency calls for it, but as long as I’m good with my family then the vast majority of the likelihood I’ll ever need to know where my kid is while they can’t communicate with me is null since like 80% of kidnappings are over custody battles or other related family disputes.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Wednesday that aims to stop other states from prosecuting doctors and pharmacists who mail abortion pills to patients in places where the procedure is banned. California already has a law protecting doctors who provide abortions from out-of-state judgments.
Because it’s the California Catholics I’m going to assume it’s part of the larger trend of Latine folks saying that queer culture and feminism and other social causes in Latine communities is a result of “gringo colonialism”
Some of these psychos go from zero to death threats with so much as a mention of that blasted X, which Latine queer communities came up with first!
There’s some poor latine enbie with a flair for math stuffs living in a permanent state of traumatized horror because of these machismo lunatics.
It’s all over twitter lately, people getting recorded ripping down posters with a graphic about the missing Israeli children and then their real names are found and are quickly fired from their jobs.
Doxxing someone for doing something that’ll make a lot of people angry is a dangerous game and should not be done unless you’re 100% sure you’d be ok with their blood being on your hands for exposing them to their would be attackers.
That said, poster rippers are mad about the right thing but at the wrong people. Those hostages are victims just as much as the people stuck in Gaza between the leviathans of Bibi and Hamas.
I know this is a really vague question, but it’s been on my mind A LOT lately. I’m specifically asking about people fighting on behalf of a group that is subject to oppression of some kind. 3 years ago, with all of the protests in America that included violence majorly against property and minorly against people but were...
Depends on what kind of mass violence you’re thinking of.
The degree to which you can control its extent, direction, and collateral damage is the degree to which you can justify it.
An organized millitary march to capture vital infrastructure and establish defensible positions in preparation for retaliation and most likely war, quite easily justified.
An unhinged hate fueled massacre and mass raping to the point of literally smashing open panic room vaults to drag out more victims to murder and rape, well at least Lemmygrad and Hexbear will still have your back!
So what I’m getting here is that they basically proved that Starfish evolved from a clade that predates the development of basically everything we consider an animal save for spongeoforms
You forgot universals, words that wind up with a common derivation in a lot of languages. For example, “Mama” is a common word for mother in completely unrelated languages, because it’s derived from babies frequently making mmm sounds first.
Also animal names derived from the sounds said animals make IIRC Crow is an example of this
The United Nations says it is collecting evidence of war crimes by both sides in the Israel-Hamas war, which began with the militant group’s brutal Oct. 7 cross-border attack and was followed by Israel’s relentless bombardment and a siege of Gaza.
And yet nothing can be done because the very concept of war crimes runs face first into the concept of national sovereignty, which is what the entire current world order is built on

Okay. Those are all good reasons but “It was the 70s and he wasn’t white” is definitely my favorite.
What are your thoughts on people being doxxed for ripping down missing israeli posters?
